Agreed. On the bright side, the packagers and/or sysadmins can fix this without any changes to the PostgreSQL code, by creating a custom cpuset and using it during launch of the postmaster. I went through that exercise in my original email. This patch complements that by preventing one CPU from managing all of PostgreSQL shared memory, and thus becoming a bottleneck. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
